The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[msgkings322]

Lol he's worth the trouble. Do you see them with and without him this season or are you under a rock?

He's definitely getting treated differently than if he was a scrub, he'd probably be out of the league.

 

[thunderc]

Fair. You disagree so mocking him and the college he went to is totally rational.

I hope his great education will allow him to retire at 56.

 

[msgkings322]

I’m going with the Aussies on this one.

Of course you are. Aussies have like 4 players in the NBA, they think they're all great, mate

 

[msgkings322]

I’m sure his great education will allow him to retire at 56.

To be fair, living somewhere cheap helps that too.

Personally I don't want to retire early, I like what I do and it's not super taxing work.

 

[fightinfunbags]

lol is this what you teach your students?

I teach them how to read through the lines because it’s tougher to see things. The modern iteration of the southern racist is a pussy. That’s why they have to be on their toes because nobody says anymore “Tell that uppity N to quit his fucking dance and know his role.” Instead they just tell him to shut up and dribble and don’t poke the bear.

Technicalities? Keep it real

Look at you stealing from black culture

and at least call it what it is, a dance where the act of shooting a gun is glorified.

A dance pulled out at the end of beating the Pelicans that originated in Louisiana.

To be fair, the correct take on that celebration is it's dumb but that's not really a big deal like the actual gun stuff. No punishment necessary but it's an alert that Ja may still not get what the problem is.

Shit’s on brand and I’ve held my tongue long enough. We will see if I’m the only guy that gets the thread ban this time.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I’m talking about to the image of the league, no one is worth more than that.

Except Josh Kiddey the great Aussie basketball player.

Just look in the rafters in LA and you will say wtf is that hanging up there? Things aren’t as rosy as you for sone reason want to believe.

Yeah, the biggest wtf has nothing to do with league revenue. It's because the Lakers have been known for and outspoken about hanging banners that aren't NBA championship banners.

Yes, the IST is about raising revenue, but it's not because they are losing money. All businesses look for ways to raise money. It's why the NFL plays games in Europe every year.

I agree 100 percent. There is an article out there before all of this saying just that after the first game he was yelling that he is taking receipts. I’m not offended in the least, I’m way past that point with what happens in society. I’m just pointing out why the league may take issue.

 

[tlance]

He did a popular dance local to Louisiana. Yes. The league shouldn’t announce that they’re investigating a celebration.

Or….

Maybe he should pick a different local dance to use given his recent history with the league office.

I gave the defiant teen analogy awhile back. That is what this is.

He is either really dumb, or he is intentionally trying to push buttons so people will talk about him.

Guessing it is the latter.

But he is tempting fate.

Or it’s a small act of civil disobedience and an attempt to flirt with a line that allows the dude to say publicly “fuck you” for costing me money I earned.

Just pointing at laughing at your hypocrisy. You have your style here, you can stop with the crying about getting 'attacked'

I’ve had my fill of white people telling young black males how they should act today.

 

[tlance]

Leaning into rap culture is now worthy of withholding 100 million dollars a player earned with his pay. Sounds reasonable.

Stop it.

That is not why he got suspended.

You are completely changing the narrative.

 

[thunderc]

Except Josh Kiddey the great Aussie basketball player.

Adam Silver addressed it. If he doesn’t give any other player the same treatment under the exact same circumstances I’ll be the first to call him out.

The sarcasm wasn’t me crying about it. It was me leaning into it.

Such the victim....LOL.

Maybe he should take ownership and learn from his mistakes.

Time will tell.

Hopefully this is a simple troll job by Ja and nothing more.
